Baltic Amber Teething Necklace - KG Baby Review



This necklace looks really nice on my babies' necks. It is not too long that it will fall off, and not too short that it will choke them. It has a nice clasp for easy removal, and I have noticed that the fussiness does lessen when this necklace is worn. This necklace looks good with almost anything my babies wear, and I definitely have fallen in love with amber necklaces. I only provided one of my babies for a picture, but this fit them both really nice. The coloring of the beads is beautiful, and definitely compliments their skin. I myself have worn amber necklaces, and I have definitely experienced lessened pain (I tried this both when I had a sinus infection and when I had a pretty bad headache). This necklace has different colored beads, which I think looks better when worn. I know that the coloring of the beads shows how strong/effective they are. This is a nice mix of both the "strong" beads and the more mild/mellow beads. The effects of the colors, to me personally, don't seem to be that great, however, to a baby, it could possibly be. This necklace is just as effective as some name brand necklaces that I have had my babies try, and those were the one color, full strength necklaces. I definitely recommend this for someone who wants to try to help their baby with teething without having to resort to teething tablets 24/7 for the duration of the teething process.

It really does absorb quite a bit, with this I do not have to worry about my twins soaking through to the (very expensive) mattress underneath. I have a deeper mattress than normal, because I wanted something that would last through the daybed years. This mattress protector had no issues covering my mattress, and some of my "deep" mattress protectors can't do that! I definitely like this, and I'm so glad that I got to test this out. It comes packaged nicely and is extremely lightweight.

Suction Bowl and Spoon for Baby / Toddler Review



This bowl is really nice at sticking to things, I have not had any issues with it staying put until I want to move it. And with a baby, that is something I definitely like. The spoon sits in the lid very snugly, and there is only one way to pull it out. Meaning no amount of tugging it any other way will work. You can only slide it in and out, it will not lift out.

This bowl is a nice pleasant color, I like how cheerful it is. Very, very easy to clean. Everything except the suction ring can be put in the dishwasher, and the ring just needs a quick rinse most times and it is good to go!

The lid holds food in securely, it takes more than a little bit of effort from me to get it open, so I am not worried.

This bowl will definitely get a lot of use, because not one, but two babies are currently starting more solid food!

Priority Chef Knife Sharpener Review




This knife sharpener really does a good job! I like the fact that it has two different ways to sharpen the knife, it has a way to get dull knives to ok sharpness and then from there it can go to very sharp. The pad on the bottom of the knife sharpener keeps it from slipping everywhere, and when dealing with knives, that is a definite plus. I have not had any issues with this sharpener, all it has done is what is is supposed to do. It sharpens my knives, and it sharpens them well. This sharpener also fits my hand nicely, I do not feel like my fingers are stretching to hold onto it, nor do I feel like my hand is too big. I do have pretty small hands, but even my friend, with large hands, was able to use this comfortably. I have no complaints, and the price is definitely nice. Definitely worth getting this and extending the life of my knives than buying new knives every time they go dull! This is definitely a lot better than any other knife sharpener that I have gotten from Amazon before, that is for sure!

You can check out this knife sharpener on Amazon HERE or their website HERE.

La Vida Essentials Coconut Oil




I got to test and review this fractionated coconut oil, and I honestly am blown away by the quality of different oils that I have received. This oil definitely fits that, the scent is very minimal, and it acts as a great carrier oil. It mixes well with my essential oils and makes for an awesome massage. I am falling in love with essential oils and coconut oil! This is a really good oil, there are so many out there, but this one definitely is great. The uses are endless for coconut oil, I have seen everything from helping teeth to ailments, I personally just really enjoy coconut oil as a carrier oil though. I love massages and anything that will enhance one has a big seal of approval. I do think this oil mixes well with all of my essential oils, I have not had any issues so far, and I doubt that I will.


Once again I am showing some of the different uses of coconut oil above.

You can check them out on Amazon HERE.

Complete Survival Camping Gear Kit 6-IN-1 By InYard Review + Giveaway


This set is very compact to start out with. I like the fact that it rolls up and is so tiny! When you want to go camping, you don't want big bulky things that weigh you down, you want small, compact things.


As shown, this bag unravels quite a bit, so if you want to add more than what comes with it, you definitely have the room to! If you just want to keep this together though, it does have a very easy way to get it back down to its original size (which it snaps back to).


The credit card tool and the promotional code were the first things I pulled out of the bag. Once again, really compact! I don't think I can stress how compact everything is!


I have pictured everything that is a part of the wallet tool. There is a really nice little knife, tweezers, a toothpick, and a bottle opener that come out of it. Built into it, there is a magnifying glass, compass and two rulers. A really handy dandy little tool to have even just day-to-day!


There is also a nice little fire starter, it seems to be of really good quality. Attached is another ruler with bottle opener. I really was impressed with this so far, and I was still pulling things out!


Up next is a spoon, fork, bottle opener, wrench combo tool. It eliminates the need for multiple utensils, and I've always been more partial to sporks than a spoon OR a fork. There is a whistle also, and this didn't feel like it had the quality that the other items had. It still worked, and it felt like it would be durable, it just was so lightweight that it didn't feel real. Which, I guess is a good thing for camping, just was odd to me. You can also see a survival chainsaw, which works really well. I tested it out, and it completely decimated what I was trying to cut through. I had never used one of those before, and was quite pleased with the results.


The next thing I opened was the strap for carrying this entire thing around. It felt like it could take a pounding, and I definitely was not worried that it would withstand a camping trip or ten. I honestly think that it would last until I decided to replace the entire thing.


The very last thing I pulled out was a very nice, soft blanket/towel. I could see it being used as either. It is really large for it being so small in the little mesh bag that it comes with. I have it partially opened on my lap to show just how big it is! Someone even like me, who has the folding skill that a child could beat (at times anyway), was able to get this back into it's carrying case. The mesh case allows for it to breath when it's being contained, thus giving it a chance to dry. This is one amazing little set!

Disclaimer:This is one amazing little set! I did receive this to test and review, however, this review has been 100% my own. I really do like this, and I am so lucky to have stumbled across it!

Tubbki Reusable Baby Food Pouch Review





I got the privilege to test these baby food pouches, and man was I impressed! They feel incredibly durable, and they can take the beating that my dishwasher puts out. It's really simple to use these food pouches, there is a wide opening at the bottom of the pouch for filling it with baby food (or other creamy foods) for a portable, on-the-go way of eating. The Tubbki pouches do not leak at all, because I put air in one and nothing escaped. If air won't escape, you can sure bet that food won't!

These pouches are top rack dishwasher safe, I recommend hand-washing the caps though. Cleaning them is super easy, I just let them soak a little bit first and then pop them in the dishwasher! I do make sure that all the little crevices are clean, most of the time I don't have to do anything, but every once in a while I will have to clean the crevices. My dishwasher is very old, and needs to be replaced (hasn't died yet though, so can't justify the cost of a new one).

You can check out these amazing Tubbki pouches on Amazon HERE.

Disclaimer: I did receive these pouches in exchange for my review, but this review is 100% my own opinion. And my opinion is these are high quality!
